\"la-rocca\"
\nSegovia: Guitar Music
\n<\/em><\/strong>Alberto La Rocca
\n<\/strong>(Brilliant Classics)<\/p>\n

Highlighting Andr\u00e9s Segovia’s largely unheralded gifts as a composer, Italian guitarist La Rocca has recorded about 70 minutes worth, including 11 preludes, a number of studies and 23 sketches of folk songs from such countries as Ireland, Russia, Poland, Finland, Serbia and several others. In the helpful notes (English and Italian), La Rocca writes: “The character of Segovia’s music is often intimistic [personal] and never succumbs to the virtuosity that one might expect from a concert player of his level; his poetic world was lyrical and introspective, occasionally tinged with an ironic or humorous touch.”<\/p>\n
